Dealer says "Edmunds has never sold a car"

For trade-ins you should look to KBB, and choose the "Fair" condition price. It doesn't matter if the car is perfect, Fair is around what you should expect. Sell it yourself on Craiglist for the more if you want more, or Ebay if the car has little appeal and you need a wide audience. It only takes a few days to have a car sold.

Actually, he's wrong there. Apart from the databases Edmunds maintains on car values, Edmunds itself probably sells more cars than your friendly salesman...they buy the cars they use for long-term testing, and sell them at the end...the long-term wrapups usually summarize their sales efforts.
